Ed Bolden was considered one of the “founding fathers” of the Santa Clarita Boys and Girls Club, one of the first SCV Man of the Year recipients and a philanthropist. Bolden died March 22, 2023 at age 94.

Bolden came to Santa Clarita in the 1960s and was very involved in Samuel Dixon Family Health Centers.

Not only was he an important member in the history of the Santa Clarita Valley and the philanthropic community, but he was also a contributing member of the community.
